Does your boyfriend have anger issues and get annoyed easily with stuff?

Hahaa funny you say that but yea. I mean not extremely. But he doesn’t understand my mental health. It’s hard to deal with for me, its a line of confusion because I have health issues that he is INCREDIBLE about. More than any other boyfriend, more than a lot of family members. So understanding, supportive, always wanting to learn more whether that be me explaining or him looking it up on his own. However in regards to mental health..that’s a different story. Not that I have much to compare it to because most people in my life, including every other boyfriend I’ve had, have never understood my OCD, or my almost debilitating depression.

How long has this been going on? If you have been in the relationship 8 months or less just get out! Not worth it you’ll thank me later. If you’ve been with him a long time I’m assuming there are more than a few good qualities he has as well which is keeping you around. In which case talk to him more seriously about this issue and suggest he seek counseling. If he is never up for that think long and hard about if you want to deal with that 5 years down the line

How old are you? I will say this.. the hardest thing you will ever do.. is be true to whatever faith you have and then also, relationships and having a child. Some people just are not there. He may be too prideful for help to see things through... even if it’s needed. You have to remind yourself though, that you DO see an issue and that you aware... that is a key to survival in a relationship and its mature. The hard part is some people can’t always see that... one day they will but... it may take time to be on YOUR level. Love is so important in this... not the butterfly kind but the kind where.. you’d love them if they lost a limb. He may not be emotionally mature enough for you...

Well he’s got anger issues. And gets annoyed with me easily and mad at me for no reason. He says he loves me but also he doesn’t know why he acts the way he acts.

And he isn’t going to do counseling ... maybe someday he will.... but not now .... it’s not like he’s angry alllllll of the time. But like when he is angry it just kills the mood. For the most part I know how to handle it, and he gets over it fast. But like .... sometimes I wonder if I make him more annoyed or happy

I know I do But like I think he really does love me . Cause I told him about my OCD and how scared I am and he says that I should focus on myself and get therapy, which was a hard thing for me to do. And he said that he wants to know how to handle it so he can help me

Yea I hope so. Sometimes I think he might break up with me tho because I think he sees me as unsuccessful in a way. I had to delay getting a job for a while because of my mental health and also school And he thinks highly of me so he always tells me to keep busy and support myself. And I’m trying so so hard to find a good job and love myself But it so fucking hard and scary because of my flare ups

Thank you. I just pray that it’s not too late and that he thinks I’m some kind of failure for taking too long to find a job. Or graduate college

I feel so lost. My boyfriend tries so hard to help me, but nothing seems to work. Every time he reassures me, my mind finds another doubt. He asks me, “So you’ve been questioning if you love me for almost 2 years?” and instead of feeling comforted, my mind jumps to “Maybe I just can’t accept that I don’t love him.” I keep telling him every thought that comes to my mind, hoping for relief, but it never lasts. I feel anxious, disconnected, and stuck in this endless cycle. He tells me that if I truly didn’t love him, I wouldn’t care so much about these thoughts. But still, my brain won’t stop questioning everything. I don’t understand why I feel this way. Why does it feel like I’m forcing something? Why do I feel like I can’t just know how I feel? I want to feel okay. I want to be present with him without analyzing every moment. But no matter what I do, my mind keeps telling me “What if you don’t love him?” I feel like I’m stuck between wanting clarity and being terrified of what that clarity might mean. It feels so real, and I hate it. I don’t know what to do.

It hurts so much to write that. Lately, every time I talk to my boyfriend — whether it’s through text or in person — I feel this deep irritation, like everything he says or does annoys me. Sometimes, it even feels like disgust, and it’s terrifying. I don’t feel love. I don’t feel excitement. I don’t even feel sadness about not feeling anything… just numb. I look at him and I don’t feel like I used to. I don’t know what happened to me. I used to be so sure I loved him, and now I feel like a completely different person — cold, distant, empty. My brain keeps telling me: “You don’t love him anymore. You never did. You’re only staying out of habit.” My mom told me that if I don’t like him anymore, then I’m hurting both him and myself by staying in this. And hearing that broke me. Because that’s exactly what I fear — that I’m faking everything, and I just don’t want to admit the truth. I feel so lost. And I don’t know how to separate my thoughts from reality anymore. All I know is that I want to feel something again — anything. Because right now, all I feel is guilt, fear, and confusion. i used to know these thoughts are just thoughts and that if i didn’t have them i would be so happy but now, i cant think aboyr that bc the thoughts feel too real.

Lately, I’ve been feeling like something has changed in me — like I have changed, and like my feelings for my boyfriend have faded or shifted. It’s one of the worst sensations I’ve ever felt. I keep thinking things like “I don’t love him like before” or “I’ve changed too much to feel anything now.” Sometimes when he calls me or makes a joke, I get irritated for no reason. I feel like I’m being mean, cold, disconnected — and then guilt crashes down on me. I remember how I used to feel: warm, close, expressive. And now… I just don’t feel the same. That makes me think: “Maybe I’ve fallen out of love.” But I’m also constantly anxious. I overthink every moment. I can’t relax into anything without analyzing if what I feel is “right.” It makes me wonder — maybe I haven’t actually changed. Maybe I’m just overwhelmed and tired from months of these thoughts and fears. I don’t know how to feel right now. I just want to believe that this disconnection isn’t proof that love is gone, but a sign that I’m scared and burnt out.
